It's in response to the federal government passing the Online News Act in June, that requires big tech companies like Meta and Google to pay media outlets for news content they share or repurpose on their platforms.
Implementing the new policy on Meta's platforms will take a few weeks, the company said.
The change could motivate people to take onus of how they get their news instead of relying on social media algorithms, and to question if they're open to changing their Google search habits and turn to other search engines, she added.

"This turkey is so lucky. It's not going to be somebody's dinner plate," said Janita Fowler, who adopted the bird she's named GiGi (short for Gobble Gobble) within 24 hours of hearing about its road rescue Monday.
Stratford police are "not 100 per cent sure" how the turkey ended up on a busy road, said Insp. Mark Taylor with Stratford Police Service.
But it's believed it may have fallen, or jumped, from a livestock truck.
"We can't identify how else the turkey arrived on scene, so we're assuming that a livestock truck would have been travelling, and the turkey jumped to save its life," said Taylor.
Taylor said police attempted to find out who the turkey belongs to, but it had no markings indicating where it was from or where it was heading.
The bird was brought to the Stratford-Perth Humane Society where it was later adopted by Fowler.
"I just offered that if the vet deemed that the turkey had a chance of survival, that I'd be happy to offer it sort of a forever home, so it wouldn't have to go back to the farm or go to the slaughterhouse and meet its demise,” said Fowler.
Fowler had to find a creative way to help GiGi get back on its feet. After sitting in a makeshift sling for a few hours, the turkey is now walking unsupported.
GiGi will live out the rest of her days on Fowler's farm with other rescue animals, including ducks and chickens.
"She will have lots of company, and be loved and pampered."

At 78, her family physician diagnosed her with both dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
"It just made all the difference in the world," Hogg said.
Hogg never earned her high school diploma, but over the years she enrolled in a number of college and university courses nonetheless. She rarely passed.
In her 70s, Hogg learned of a group for seniors with ADHD.
"I went to the meeting and within 15 minutes I was with all these people that were totally like me," Hogg said.
"I was always the odd one. I couldn't learn. I couldn't memorize. I couldn't do spelling. I can't do math," she said. "Can you imagine the excitement when I found [that group] at 78?"

Just days before his 89th birthday, the Barrie resident’s dream came true as he co-piloted a Jet Provost T4 trainer from Tillsonburg Regional Airport near London, on Tuesday.
“I’ve had an urge to fly all my life. I have a private pilot’s licence, but nothing that qualifies me to fly a jet,” Best told CBC News before taking off.
Best’s retirement home, Amica Little Lake in Barrie, arranged the experience ahead of his July 31 birthday.
His interest in aviation goes back to childhood, when he’d see Harvard aircrafts fly over his hometown near Shelburne on training missions.
“When I was six or seven years old and those Harvard flights would come out, I had a little cardboard box that I would jump into, and that was my airplane,” he said.
Best’s wife, his two daughters and grandchildren were there to cheer him on as he soared over 3,000 metres into the air. The rest of his family in Calgary tuned in through FaceTime.

Procedures to correct the damage went unsuccessful, leading Smith and her husband to look for a gestational surrogate to carry their baby.
“It was devastating because I always wanted to be a mom." she said. "I would've done anything to carry my own baby but when I found out I had no choice, I had to embark on this journey.
The search connected her to Ariel Taylor, a London, Ont., fertility therapist, who has been a five-time surrogate herself. Taylor has long documented her surrogacy journey to her nearly 80,000 followers on Instagram to educate others about the process and debunk myths around it.
Taylor became a surrogate for Smith's family after the two women realized how much they had in common and developed a close friendship. The two have been making videos about how the process is experienced by both a surrogate and an intended parent.
Three weeks ago, Taylor gave birth to the couple's baby boy and Smith said she's been involved every step of the way from appointments, to prenatal care and witnessing her son's birth.
“It was the closest I could get to being pregnant myself Smith said. "It was very important for me to have this experience since I wasn't carrying on my own. It's a very big loss and I grieved a lot, I still do because there's a huge part of it that was missing for myself.”
In 2021, Taylor started her practice, Carried with Love, to provide virtual therapy and support to pregnant patients, intended parents, surrogates, mom's struggling with postpartum depression, and those who experience pregnancy loss.
In Canada, one in six couples experience infertilty.
“If you want to have a child and grow your family, then infertility shouldn't be the reason you can't do that. We have the technology and people willing to collaborate with these parents to bring their baby here." Taylor added.

Malcolm Oshalla was celebrating his third birthday with a UPS-themed party, when a courier surprised him.
“The truck shows up and there’s Andy and my grandson. [Malcolm] just went straight up to him, hand in hand,” said Malcolm’s grandmother, Colleen Murray.
UPS courier Andrew Moran was delivering packages around St. Thomas, Ont., on July 3 when he learned of Malcolm’s party.
“She just mentioned that someone was having a birthday and they love UPS, so I figured I’d stop by,” Moran said.
“I did not expect the [replica] UPS truck,” he added.
“I figured there probably would be an outfit or something, but the UPS truck was the icing on the cake.”
Malcolm’s grandmother says he’s been obsessed with delivery trucks for the last six months. When he met Moran in person, she says, he met his hero.

“I was wondering what I was going to do this summer and I thought, 'I'm going to take a ride on my trike, said the long-haired octogenarian, who last month rode his motorcycle solo from Edmonton to London, Ont., to visit family.
“To me, it was no big deal, but a lot of people out west, they were wishing me a safe ride and, 'Be careful, and all this," said the former millwright, who is staying in London for another week.
Bob's five children worry too.
“I rode with him for two hours down the highway just to make sure he was good and on his way," said his 54-year-old son, Dave Mansell, who lives in Alberta.
Bob stops for a break on his more than 3,000-kilometre journey from Edmonton to London, Ont. He did the trip solo, on his Harley-Davidson Trike.
Bob, a widow for 10 years, also has a GPS tracker on his bike that his family used to check up on their dad during his four-day ride east.
Last year, when Bob turned 80, the one-time Royal Canadian Air Force member traded in his Fat Boy Harley-Davidson for a trike.
"There's just a mystique about Harleys and fortunately I had enough money to buy them." he said.
This is my third really big Harley."
Bob has had lots of other bikes over the years. He also said he rides for a taste of treedom.

Thomas, Ont., was days away from celebrating his 12th birthday.
"He was a great little kid. Almost perfect," said Larry Payne, the boy's grandfather.
Aiden Curtis, 11, and a group of friends were on their way back from getting ice cream at McDonald's when a car jumped the curb at the intersection of Talbot and Inkerman streets.
"He was a sweet little guy. Somebody that everybody would want to be around." Payne said.
The crash happened at around 5 p.m. Tuesday. Curtis was killed and a woman critically injured. Three other pedestrians were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Nicholas Lemko, 19, has been charged with impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm. He made a brief court appearance on Wednesday morning in St. Thomas court and was released from custody.
His next scheduled appearance is Aug. 8.
By Wednesday morning the roadblocks at the intersection where the fatal collision took place were gone, replaced with mementos and flowers laid down to commemorate and honour the victims.
“It's scary being right at the corner. People are rushing to make this light," said James McConnell, a man who came to the site with his three young sons to honour the spirit of the child who died.
The family, who are First Nations, put down tobacco and sage and smudged the site of the memorial. They laid down teddy bears and prayed as well.
St. Thomas Police Chief Marc Roskamp called the crash a "terrible tragedy" and said he reached out to offer his condolences to Curtis’ family on behalf of the entire community.
“We will continue to arrest, charge and advocate for strong sentences for those that fail to recognize community expectations and the laws surrounding impaired driving.
Our message is clear when it comes to impaired driving and the significant threat it poses to public safety. You have been warned - don't do it."

In the rain-drenched garden at the London Food Bank, it appeared as uprooted plants, stolen tools, a plastic wall wrenched from its bolts and cuts in the fence.
For Luis Reyes, the greenhouse co-ordinator at the London Food Bank, the biggest violation is the fact whoever broke into the garden took the time to steal the wheels off half a dozen wheelbarrows.
"That was scary. That left me shaking," Reyes said. "He knew exactly what he was doing."
Reyes believes stealing the wheels was an apparent act of sabotage since they represent almost no commercial value.
It's the second time the London Food Bank has had a break-in at its garden area in the last week. In the first instance, the suspect was scared off after being confronted by a neighbour, food bank co-director Glen Pearson said.
"I’m sure the person that did it probably saw what was being said about them and decided to just come back and make a mess of it."
The break-ins come at a time when use of the food bank is at an all-time high.
Inflation, especially when it comes to food, coupled with the rising cost of fuel and shelter, have created an acute affordability crisis. The charity says it hasn't seen anything like it in its 37-year history.

The Oxford Caribbean Canadian Association, composed of members of the area's growing Caribbean diaspora, organized the event. There was food, music and vendors from Black-owned businesses across southwestern Ontario.
"There's a lot of diversity and that's only increased in the last recent years," said Phillips. "I've been here for about the past five years and even in the last that little bit, we've seen the population of Oxford County grow,” said organizer Suzanne Phillips with the Oxford Caribbean Canadian Association.
Bianca Fulton-Kgwarae owns Bontle by B. She is based in Kitchener, Ont., and creates Christian apparel and Black empowerment clothing. She stands with daughters Semaiah and Mikaiah Kgwarae.
"I decided that I wanted them to be wearing more stuff that represented who they are as well as be more positive," said Kgwarae. "That's how this business was born."
Yaasmiyn Davidson owns Lionessence Beauty Supply in Woodstock. "It's really nice to see Woodstock becoming diverse because you know, you feel more comfortable in the community where you can see visibly people who look like you, who have the same needs within the community," she said.
Rochelle Williams is founder of Kitchener's The Dessert Artist. She creates custom baked goods that are representative of Black culture, as well as Jamaican patties and desserts.
"I feel like the biggest issue when it comes to Black culture is that people just don't know where to find information," she said. "So I love being here so I can show my culture and what I do to other people and they have questions and then I'm here to answer it."
